It's based on the region that the phone was originally sold in. If the model number contains AE, AB, or AH, it will only have FaceTime in a country in the Middle East where FaceTime is NOT banned. It will not have FaceTime outside of the Middle East at all. There is no way to get it. This is a legal requirement imposed by the governments in the Middle East.
